<when sometimes you don't realize you're actually drowning when you're trying to be everyone else's anchor.>

"a curse where we remember the pain far longer than the love."

'It is the last day you have on Earth,
    the person you became will meet
       the person you could have become.'

She was a giver.
Always poured, too much love.
        
                              Never realized
                                     watering a rock

I am not the result of the past
I am not the result of the abuse
But
I am the result of the future
And I am the result of who I pretend to be.

in the same way, someone drowning remembers the air."

...it's like witnessing a volcano erupt, beauty and destruction all at once.

If a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?

"Don't tell me what people said about me,
Tell me why they were so comfortable telling you."

"is like being in a totally round room and looking for a corner to sit in."

"is a house
where the chairs
have forgotten how to hold us
the mirrors how to reflect us
the walls how to contain us
Grief is a house that disappears
each time someone knocks at the door
or rings the bell
a house that blows into the air
at the slightest gust
that buries itself deep in the ground
while everyone is sleeping
Grief is a house where no one can protect you
where the younger brother
will grow older than the older one
where the doors
no longer let you in
or out."

"The dead weight of your legs from sleeping pills,
the dizziness from the alcohol,
the soft throbbing of your pulse as blood is pumped out your wrists?

That's it.
That's what we've been waiting for, that's the quiet comfort.

The beauty of dying."

"is deeper than knowledge. There are many people who know you, but very few who understand you."

.......but he was colorblind."

"is the art of pretending to be normal."

I miss
the cries I never visited
the books I have never read
the hearts I have never broken
the tears I have never shed
I crave
for the love I never got
the thoughts I never had
the smile I never showed
the person I never was

I laughed,
the sun was shining
and I was fine.
Until someone came and reminded me
why I was so sad. I realized I wasn't happy,
I was just distracted from my sadness."

"We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are."

"I have found so much beauty in the Dark as I have found a lot of horrors in light."

you pinned my legs to the ground
                    with your feet
                         and demanded I stand up.

"Too often I don't tell people,
                                                people I love,
                                                                       I am sad.
Because I don't think
